Paris Hilton was arrested in Hollywood Thursday Sept 7th for DUI.

Paris Hilton would not stop creating media frenzy. The hotel heiress keeps creating abuzz following her much-talked debut solo album "Paris" when she was arrested on Thursday Sept 7th on a misdemeanor charge of suspicion of driving under the influence.

On her arrest, police officers said Paris was pulled over just before 12:30 a.m. because she was observed driving her Mercedes-Benz erratically. The field sobriety test, conducted at the scene, showed the symptoms of intoxication and so the socialite was arrested at 12:30 a.m. with driving under the influence charges.

Furthermore, officers said Paris took a Breathalyzer test showing her blood-alcohol level to be 0.08 percent, the minimum to warrant an arrest in California. Paris' car was impounded.

However, "She was released at 3 a.m. on her own recognizance, which is normal for a misdemeanor arrest", the officers explained. She was picked up from the Hollywood police station by sister Nicky Hilton and boyfriend, "Entourage" star Kevin Connolly.
